Disney Lorcana: Attack of the Vine! pushes one of the game’s longest-running background storylines into the spotlight. As the 13th main Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game expansion, the set centers on the spreading Vine, a realm-born threat that has been quietly appearing in prior releases before finally taking over the frame in full.
The set first reached local game stores for prerelease events on July 17, 2026, followed by its full retail launch on July 24, 2026. Beyond the story hook, this release stands out for its mechanical experimentation, several major Pixar additions, and a checklist that grows beyond Lorcana’s familiar 204-card main set size.
Attack of the Vine! set overview
The heart of the release is the Vine itself, an entity that has been feeding on the flood ink introduced across earlier Lorcana sets. That growth has now spiraled out of control, spreading above and below the realm while producing distorted plant-based copies of known characters called Vinelings.
These Vinelings are one of the set’s defining themes. Familiar faces return in twisted form, now aligned with the Vine rather than the Illumineers. Cards such as Ursula – Created by the Vine, Mrs. Incredible – Created by the Vine, Peter Pan – Created by the Vine, Maid Marian – Created by the Vine, Aladdin – Created by the Vine, and Scar – Created by the Vine give the release a strong narrative identity while also making the new Vineling classification a major checklist feature.
Ravensburger also commits hard to the visual identity here. Attack of the Vine! uses a stylized retro monster-movie approach called Cinemayhem, blending bold title-card framing, dramatic colors, and vintage sci-fi horror energy with Disney and Pixar characters. For collectors, that artistic direction gives the set a distinctive shelf presence that separates it from earlier Lorcana expansions.
Release date and product format
Collectors and players had two release milestones to track:
- Prerelease at local game stores: July 17, 2026
- Wide retail release: July 24, 2026
Attack of the Vine! arrives in the usual spread of Lorcana products, along with a related cooperative release scheduled later in the year.
- Booster Pack: 12 cards per pack, including 6 Common, 3 Uncommon, 2 Rare or higher, and 1 Foil card of random rarity
- Booster Box: 24 booster packs per box with three pack art designs
- Illumineer’s Trove: 8 booster packs, full-art storage box, card dividers, themed damage dice, and a spin-dial lore counter
- Prerelease Box: local game store exclusive during prerelease, with one of six random promo cards
- Illumineer’s Quest: The Great Hunny Rescue: standalone cooperative adventure releasing October 2, 2026
Why this checklist matters
Attack of the Vine! is the first Lorcana main set to go beyond the standard 204-card numbered format. The base checklist reaches 207 cards, then adds a sizable secret rarity layer on top.
The rarity breakdown is as follows:
- Common: 72
- Uncommon: 54
- Rare: 51
- Super Rare: 18
- Legendary: 12
- Epic: 18
- Enchanted: 18
- Iconic: 2
That leaves the full release at 207 main-set cards plus 38 secret rarity cards. For master set builders, it is one of Lorcana’s deepest chases to date.
Pixar franchises debut in Lorcana
One of the biggest draws in Attack of the Vine! is the arrival of three new Pixar properties. Lorcana had already begun widening its Pixar footprint, and this release adds a substantial wave of fresh characters from Monsters, Inc., Up, and Turning Red.
Monsters, Inc.
Monstropolis enters Lorcana with a very natural fit for a horror-inflected set. Sulley, Mike Wazowski, Boo, Randall Boggs, Roz, Henry J. Waternoose III, and support cards like Scream Canister, Laugh Canister, and Closet Door Portal all help establish the franchise quickly.
Notable cards include Sulley – The New Boss, Sulley – Protective Monster, Sulley – Strategic Scarer, Mike Wazowski – Heroic Climber, Mike Wazowski – Well-Rounded Entertainer, Boo – In Disguise, Boo – Energetic Child, and Boo – Human Child. Team-up cards such as Sulley & Boo – Scare Buddies are positioned as major chase pieces for both players and collectors.
Up
Up makes a quieter but memorable entrance through Carl Fredricksen, Ellie Fredricksen, Russell, Kevin, Dug, Charles Muntz, Paradise Falls – Exotic Destination, Carl’s House – Flying High, My Adventure Book, Bunch of Balloons, and Translation Collar.
Important cards from this group include Carl Fredricksen – Loving Husband, Carl Fredricksen – On the Move, Russell – Senior Wilderness Explorer, Russell – Junior Wilderness Explorer, Kevin – Flightless Bird, Dug – Good Boy, and Carl Fredricksen & Russell – Intrepid Explorers.
Turning Red
Turning Red adds Meilin Lee, Ming Lee, Priya Mangal, Miriam Mendelsohn, Abby Park, Tyler Nguyen-Baker, Sun Yee, Mrs. Hasagawa, and the 4Town card. The set also introduces the new Red Panda classification through this franchise.
Standout checklist names include Meilin Lee – Lead Vocalist, Meilin Lee – Losing Control, Meilin Lee – Superficially Obedient, Meilin Lee – Popular Red Panda, Ming Lee – Proud Parent, Ming Lee – Overprotective Parent, Ming Lee – Giant Red Panda, Grandma Wu – Wise Grandmother, Grandma Wu – Fierce Red Panda, Red Moon Ritual, Red Alert, RAHR!, and Nobody Like U.
New keywords and classifications
Attack of the Vine! is not just a story set. It also expands Lorcana gameplay with several new variations of Shift, giving deckbuilders more ways to use multi-character and specialty cards.
- Duo Shift: lets a dual-named character shift onto two separate characters, one for each part of the card’s name. A flagship example is Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse – Adventuring Duo.
- Combo Shift: blends standard Shift and Duo Shift functionality. Sulley & Boo – Scare Buddies is the headline example.
- Temporary Shift: allows a shifted character to return to hand later with damage cleared. Meilin Lee – Popular Red Panda introduces this variation.
- Potato Shift: the most playful addition, enabling Posey – Vampire Potato to shift onto an item named Potato.
New classifications also help define the checklist. Team supports the growing line of dual-character cards, while Red Panda, Boss, and Vineling expand tribal and flavor space. Morph returns as well, with Morph – Little Imitator bringing an ability that allows any character to shift on top of him regardless of name.
One card that could have an outsized impact on deck construction is Christopher Robin – Hunny Sage. Its Gather the Party ability lets players include Hunny characters of any ink type in their deck, creating a notable exception to traditional two-ink deckbuilding limits and opening new possibilities for theme-based lists.
Top chase cards for collectors
Attack of the Vine! has no shortage of collector attention pieces. Some are important because of gameplay, others because of franchise popularity, and several because they sit in the secret rarity layer.
Among the cards likely to headline openings, binder pages, and early singles demand:
- Sulley & Boo – Scare Buddies
- Woody & Buzz Lightyear – Best Buddies
- Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse – Adventuring Duo
- Peter Pan & Tinker Bell – Fast Friends
- Dash Parr & Violet Parr – Super Siblings
- Belle & Beast – Certain as the Sun
- Lilo & Stitch – Fun-Loving Friends
- Meilin Lee – Popular Red Panda
- Christopher Robin – Hunny Sage
- Boo – Energetic Child
The secret rarity program adds even more pressure to those names, especially in Enchanted and Iconic form. Disney parks and Disney store launch exclusives also add another layer for completion-focused collectors trying to build a true master run.

Cards to watch across the main checklist
Several individual cards stand out for different reasons. Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse – Adventuring Duo is a focal point because Duo Shift is one of the set’s showcase mechanics. Sulley & Boo – Scare Buddies looks equally important as a collector card and as the defining Combo Shift example. Meilin Lee – Popular Red Panda should draw attention as the flagship Temporary Shift card. Posey – Vampire Potato gives the set one of its most memorable novelty interactions through Potato Shift.
From a pure story perspective, cards tied directly to the Vine should remain in demand, particularly The Vine – Towering Stalk, Source of the Vine, Vine Pod, Vine Entrance – Ominous Passageway, and action cards like Attack of the Vine! and To Wither a Flower.
Collectors chasing Disney duo cards also get a deep lineup here, including Pocahontas & Meeko – Adventurous Friends, Woody & Buzz Lightyear – Best Buddies, Aladdin & Genie – Mischievous Pals, Peter Pan & Tinker Bell – Fast Friends, Carl Fredricksen & Russell – Intrepid Explorers, Rapunzel & Flynn Rider – Unlikely Pair, Dash Parr & Violet Parr – Super Siblings, and Darkwing Duck & Launchpad – St. Canard’s Finest.
What Attack of the Vine! adds to Lorcana
Attack of the Vine! is notable for more than its checklist length. It advances an ongoing story thread, introduces a memorable horror-inspired art style, adds three new Pixar franchises, and stretches one of Lorcana’s signature mechanics with multiple new Shift variants.
For players, that means fresh deckbuilding tools and some potentially format-shaping text, especially on Christopher Robin – Hunny Sage and the new Team cards. For collectors, it means a 207-card base set with a strong secret rarity class, several first appearances, and premium targets like the two Iconic cards, Lilo & Stitch – Fun-Loving Friends and Belle & Beast – Certain as the Sun.
Anyone building the full set should be prepared for a broad hunt across numbered cards, foils, secret rarities, and launch-window exclusives, with the biggest premium pressure likely centered on Sulley & Boo – Scare Buddies, Meilin Lee – Popular Red Panda, Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse – Adventuring Duo, Dash Parr & Violet Parr – Super Siblings, and Belle & Beast – Certain as the Sun.
